It's been an incredibly unpredicatable summer. This celebatory tribute has not turned out as I had hoped. The responses from friends and family have been disappointing for me. I have not had the time that I had hoped to engage in this project.
However, recent events and today, the anniversary of a tragic accident reminds me that life has to be celebrated always. Tomorrow may look completely different.
So Mom and Dad, we continue to celebrate with you. you are a gift to us. We are thankful for Dad's recovery and appreciate you both everyday

From Jim and Roma
Dear Mary,
This has taken us ages to say a few words about your folks. How well I remember your Dad carrying the financial load of Christian Direction during the years that he served as Treasurer of Christian Direction in Montreal. It was no easy task for him but he did it with grace and devotion. I don’t know if any of the other board members would have tackled the task at the time. No doubt because your dear Mother was behind him in this ‘adventure’, he was able to stick with it and always with a smile on his face. Finances were not always in the red but I believe they must have been most of the time. However, God is faithful with people like your parents behind the job they were doing.
For us, we never had the opportunity to really get acquainted with your mother until we spent a few days in their home in Charleston, SC. That was another unforgettable adventure with our handicapped son, rolling him up the front stairs. We well remember visiting the nursing home where your mother spends much of her time and visiting the beautiful city and homes with your folks. Because of their loving hospitality, we were able to get to know them in a fresh new way and to enjoy the beauty and history of Charleston.
May the Lord bless them and keep them as they continue to serve the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
With much love,
Jim and Roma Yorgey

60 years
60 years is a long time to do just about anything, especially to be married. And of course it takes a lot of effort. But I have to say that I am very proud of you Grandma and Grandpa, and it's a big day of celebration.
While I was on vacation, my aunt dropped me off at my friend's house where my friend lived with her mom and her mom's boyfriend. And as we left the car, my aunt said "Aren't you glad that you don't live in a world where mothers have boyfriends?" And the answer is absolutely yes. I'm glad that my family is so full of love for each other and I owe this all to my grandparents, for being a perfect example of how a marriage is supposed to be. A marriage is a team, and team Adams is successful.
Love,
Michelle
Congratulations you two!
